I think this is explained in the manual, but I'm not sure... Anyway,
the reason why it's only added at sending time is so that Mutt doesn't
know before that whether you're sending the email to some mailing list
or not. When Mutt is sending the mail, it looks if any of the addresses
are mailing lists -- if there are, it'll generate the MFT header
accordingly. If you think about this for a moment you will see the
logic in this behaviour.
Mutt also won't of course generate a MFT header if one already exists
(is supplied by user).
I have been thinking that it would be useful to have a feature in Mutt
for "stamping" the email with a MFT header, based on the current
recipient list. Ie. not have Mutt do this by default before sending,
but giving the user the option to automatically generate the MFT header
into the email with a manual (or macro-ed?) command. In the rare cases
where I want to modify the MFT header, this would save some typing...
